Scaling:
Most athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes should focus on maintaining sound mechanics rather than trying for max loads.
(easy weights - focused on warming up hips, form, and not bouncing at bottom. 2nd deadlifts after straining lower back 3 weeks ago)

Modified, using 2x 9,5 kg DB:
--
10 sets of 14 single-leg dumbbell deadlifts, alternating legs each set.
--
Did 50 more reps of standard DB deadlifts in the end, for good measure.
6 km run in the early morning

310 - 310 - 310 - 322 - 322 - 335 - 335
310 is maxing out what I have for weights in the home gym. I got creative this time and strapped a DB to get to 322 and a 25lb DB plate to get to 335. Not ideal on the 25lb because it hung lower than the barbell so the weight didnt kick in until a few inches off the ground. And hit first on the way down. Interesting feeling...
Well off my best, but I’m ok with this as I work my back and form into shape.

Globo scale: as rxed. Most gyms should have a bar and plates to do this. If noise is an issue put down mats under the plates and lower the bar under control. If you are at Planet Fitness or a hotel gym either load the Smith Machine (I know), or do dumbbell deadlifts, or dumbbell single leg deadlifts if more proficient. If you max the dumbbells do AMRAP sets with good form.
Equipmentless sub: find a heavy object and deadlift it. Bed deadlifts, tire flips, lift a heavy stone, try to lift your car, ect. Barring that do strict pullups and lots of supermans. Also throw in some hard short sprints if you need a CNS shock, the hillier the better. 100m tops.
While I don't think it would be the "main decision" today, I think it's good to decide whether or not you want grip to play a factor. Double overhand grip will obviously be more challenging (and less weight) than alternating. Also, touch-and-go with alternating would be more difficult than allowing for a reset/regrip at the bottom (maybe saying you have 30 seconds to complete 3 lifts, or something like that). As long as you know your purpose for doing the lifts, there's not a "right" way to do it... except with your freaking spine staying rigid and unchanged!
WORKOUT THEMES
A high output with a long recovery in between efforts; squatting with very heavy weight, extra emphasis on midline
MAIN DECISION
Do I go for a 3 rep max, or do I go for 7 heavy sets but not necessarily set a record?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Same format, lots more reps each set
CONSISTENCY SCALE
A little less rest than usual. Maybe look at what you did last time and try to hit the same numbers, just with 1/3 less rest. Or just make sure you're still breathing a little bit heavy when you start your next set.
INTENSITY SCALE
Do a short sprint or burpee set before each deadlift set.
INJURY SCALE
Lower-body - AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 20-sec hip extension hold, 10 toes to bar, 10 ring rows
MY STUFF
We are debuting our Star Wars Theme Workout this Saturday, so I tested that one our today with Mr. Bennis. Hylo Ten and X-Wing Flyer stations were rough; I still need to figure out the Han(d)s Solo station.
